Get Right Back To Where We Started From
Have you moved away from where you grew up? Have you been back? What childhood memories have been DESTROYED by this?

(Inspired by GeordieJay gaan yem to toon)

Yes, from The Midlands to Aberdeen.
About 8 years now. The main change that has fucked up childhood memories is that the school I went to is now a carpark for the PFI monstrosity that has replaced it.

I'm not really that arsed to be honest.

Alt: because usually I'm knackered after getting a shit nights sleep because I didn't get out of bed until the afternoon on Sunday.

Being an army brat means I don't really have a home town.
I guess the closest thing I have to a place I grew up is Barnsley, which is my mum's home town.
Before I moved down to WsM, the longest I'd lived anywhere was 7 years. And that doesn't really count, because that was only where I went to boarding school.

Alt: because you hate your job. You should check out Reed.co.uk

Only been in Manchester for about 3 years
and already when I go home it feels like I am surrounded by those less fortunate and that I should be down a mine.
Bars that once flourished with life are now dwindling and scraping by on the funds the bar flys provide.

I'll always be a Geordie at heart but it is a bubble to live in.

Spread your wings!! Fly, my pretties!!

Alt. I'm beyond tired today with a non functioning brain.
I think Wednesday is the thinking man's Monday, however.

Dear gods.
I grew up in Somerset. Coming back home from university one summer, I was sitting with a friend outside a local pub, and some girls came over that knew him.

I said something - what I can't remember, but I assume it contained a polysyllable, because one of the girls turned to me with absolute scorn, and hissed accusingly "Ur yew intelligent ur summat?!"

On visiting my old local, the barman recognised me, and asked me 'ow be an. I said I was up in London now, and one of the barflies said wistfully "London ... my mate went to London once ... "

I took Mrs Vagabond there a few years ago, and I swear to God I could have picked up any of the conversations I left 20 years ago.
